"Like, this week it guided me to discover a stealth 800 µA draw from the fan itself when the device was supposed to be in deep sleep."

Was this context across a single datasheet or was Pro-Mode able to deduce from how multiple parts were connected/programmed? Did it identify the problem, or just suggest where to look?
Ok, but manufacturers are cheaping out and leaving out resistors in devices. As a consumer, I don’t know this until I get home.
I get the impression you just didn't read it properly and are now digging in your heels.

It's getting hard to even take printing stuff for granted. It's getting harder and harder on iOS just to arbitrarily copy and paste text from many apps - can't even copy the title of a YouTube video last time I tried. This mostly just worked on PC.

It hurts me. Everything going so far backwards.

At least once a week I have to screenshot something on iOS and use the new Photo OCR feature to copy and paste it out of the image. I wish I was joking.
funniest thing is that there are still people who do not recognize this. it is a simple supply and demand. if there is no “supply” (no US workers can do job X and we need someone from Cameroon) this would mean that this is cream-of-crop position and you’d expect to see 20-30-40-50% premium on the salary to get the right person. I am US citizen and I may not apply for $140k/year job. But if you jack that up to $395k/year I just might. Instead, we’ll do H1B and not only underpay but also have employee by the balls for X mumber of years to do with as we please…
imho starship is really just eye candy for the shell; it's not necessarily an actually improved shell prompt if you're on a "modern" shell like fish (a shell for the '90s!) or if you've put effort into customizing your shell experience with any of the other shells.
yes the US has better rule of law and is an actual democracy, for sure. but China does not seem to be so bad by the standards that we hold our own allies to, so to me it is unclear why we have become locked into this neo cold war so quickly. some of our allies make china look like a saint in comparison

Correct notifications are essential for a messaging app/service.

If people hit those bugs, I hope some of them have the time to speak up in the Matrix channel for that app/platform or find/create/bump the Github issue for it. While Matrix needs continued love, its ecosystem seems like a great protocol & app to keep supporting with feedback.

Messaging apps are hard to get all perfect (even some major ones, not naming names), and what Matrix accomplishes is pretty impressive; I hope Matrix & Element will continue to mature. (For hope, the first iPhone was pretty limited and easy to dis, but look at it now.)
I don’t know which things here are actually relevant to the differences between the two, but of course there have been changes. Core counts are much higher. You can stripe some enterprise SSDs and get bandwidth within an order of magnitude or so of your RAM. Yet clocks aren’t that much higher, and user-supervisor transitions are comparatively much more expensive. There’s a reason Lemire’s talk on simdjson is called “Data engineering at the speed of your disk”.
I don't agree that a comprehensive attitude is appropriate. I have plenty of criticisms of US foreign policy, but China's plans for Taiwan are absolutely incomparable to any of them. There's quite a lot of diplomatic compromises that I think the US ought to make if they would secure Taiwanese independence, but right now the Chinese government are themselves completely unwilling to introspect or take a comprehensive attitude about it.

And he doesn't even get around to mentioning that Google (and Amazon) are providing AI computing to Israel even though Google's own lawyer warned that they could be used to violate human rights. Their lawyers wrote: "Google Cloud services could be used for, or linked to, the facilitation of human rights violations, including Israeli activity in the West Bank.”

It gets worse, they got advice and then didn't follow it:

"Google reportedly sought input from consultants including the firm Business for Social Responsibility (BSR). Consultants apparently recommended that the contract bar the sale and use of its AI tools to the Israeli military 'and other sensitive customers,' the report says. Ultimately, the [Google] contract reportedly didn’t reflect those recommendations."

Modafinil 100mg morning and Amitriptyline 75mg at night helps with dysautonomia, though modafinil can exacerbate gut issues. Using weaker ligands helps with working with the natural cycles of the body instead of against it. Low Dose Naltrexone. A fairly high dose of TUDCA and DIM. DIM (3,3'-Diindolylmethane) is a relatively non-toxic selective AhR modulator. Ipamorelin + ModGRF. VIP peptide. A fairly low dose Semaglutide of 0.5mg after a year on it where I started at 0.05mg - not sure if the dose has plateaued, we will see. Elimination of sugar from diet. Resistance exercise and no aerobic exercise due to PEM. I have a strong genetic predisposition (hEDS) so I was impacted by Long Covid worse than most.
The way I see it "entitle" = "in title". People in their title as citizens have a right (often from birth and unalienable) to certain things such as passports.

"Eligible" means you're able to be elected, but you must still be elected. Different from a passport, you may be eligible to a visa, and at some point an officer is likely going to interview you and decide whether to give you one.

People are entitled to a passport but only eligible to a visa. You can assert what you're entitled to, but not what you're eligible to.

> entitlement implies to me that the person has invested some time and resources in asserting their right

That's only when your title was earned, which not all are; some are born into them.

> I believe eligible is defined as meeting some criteria for, not necessarily being chosen though that could be a criteria.

The confusion may have started when decisions became more automated into "criteria" to be checked for by bureaucrats that no longer have the deciding power they once had (and later further automated by software), but "chosen" is in the latin root of the word. For example, "chosen" in Spanish is "elegido", "choosable" would be "elegible". "Eligible" = "electable" = "choosable". They're all basically synonyms.

You might want to look into Topre switches. They are electrocapacitive rubber dome switches. They feel like typing on a cloud. I own a Leopold FC660C modded to be silent and to support QMK. I sometimes think about getting an ortholinear or split keyboard, but that rules out Topre so I’m not going to bother, it’s just too good.
I would consider that unethical, and would not do it.

For many reasons, I live a life of extremely rigorous personal ethics.

I don’t insist that others do the same, but I do need to protect myself from others that assume my ethical stance to be weakness.

For example; I make it a point to always keep my word.

Unethical folks that know this of me, are constantly trying to get me to make commitments, without divulging the costs to me, or the boundaries of said commitments.

It’s my responsibility to make sure that I have full disclosure, before making a commitment.

Many people become quite jaded and misanthropic, when faced with this. I tend to find it amusing, watching people try weaseling out of giving full information. Often, these efforts tell me more about things, than full disclosure up front will.

I like people, and can call some really rapacious bastards friend. My ethical stance is truly entirely personal, and I have worked closely, with some spectacularly flawed people.

Scott Adams (He Whose Name Has Been Struck From The Lists) wrote an extremely cynical book, called The Way of the Weasel, which is downright prescient.

I was hoping to see something about EAF[1] this year, as I think the big thing emacs is still missing is a good way to drive interactive graphics, but EAF is still super janky and underdocumented.

It’s worth a try, one bicycle home at a time.

Upon the heap of many issues involved in “homelessness” is wedged the modern lie that conventional housing and lifestyle is natural or working for us all. In addition to drugs and psychosis and devastating circumstance of impoverishment, there are also those who cannot escape living as a part of the open streets of the world.
Surely there's a specific lawsuit you can refer to rather than pointing at a company and hoping that we can guess which case you're referring to?
There were no words for this stuff. People just made it up, and it took years for something to emerge as the de facto standard term for a collection of data persistently stored.

There's an interesting parallel with the emacs editor. Operations we now universally call "Cut" and "Paste" are "Kill" and "Yank". The better terms won out and emacs is stuck with Ctrl-K and Ctrl-Y as not-so-intuitive mnemonics for cut and paste.
This is from more than 25 years ago, there has been big changes since then.
You can use a 5150 keyboard on a modern computer fairly easily, all you need is a relatively inexpensive adapter like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/385607912016 . Overall I think the 5150 keyboard feels a lot better to type on than the Cherry switches and Chinese clones that the article covers.

> applicants doing fake job applications … stolen identities

What I don’t get is what’s the economic incentive for this behaviour
The thing is Emacs, just like Lisp, can incorporate all those neat ideas without drastically transforming itself. I don’t know any strong features other editors have that users can’t replicate unless powered by closed source code. It won’t be as polished, but that mostly because users have different workflow.
So the problem with character counts is that unless you put in an insane amount of effort to calculate it, you're not going to get "significant chars" but rather "bytes"

That said, you asked so here's the result of the difference within the `src/` directories comparing 3.7.1 and 4.0 beta (so excluding docs, fish scripts, etc):

> cd fish3/src; find . -type f -exec cat {} + | tr -d '[:space:]' | wc -c
2172330

> cd fish-shell/src; find . -type f -exec cat {} + | tr -d '[:space:]' | wc -c
2207996

That's an increase of 35,666 bytes, or just 1.6%

If you don't exclude whitespace, the difference is just under +250k bytes (an 8% increase).
I can explain. The first link actually contains multiple comments -- the complete discussion is linked.

For a specific example within it, it does explicitly state "17.1 and higher have an unprivileged microG feature now: https://divestos.org/pages/faq#appCompatibility" in 2023. The comment was by the DivestOS project author.

The second link, also from 2023, starts with "Latest release of my DivestOS can now run microG in an unprivileged manner:" -- also by the DivestOS author.

I think that covers it for your reading of the links, no?

Anyway, the DivestOS project did have an implementation of microG, and it was sandboxed. As for my comment about projects goals, I also selected those two links because both include such commentary about DivestOS' implementation in relation to project goals and to the GrapheneOS implementation.

Show HN: A minimalist habit tracker with a wheel-based visualization
With the new year around the corner I was looking for a habit tracker. None of the ones I found off-the-shelf had the simplicity or the kind of visualization I was looking for. So I built a simple tool that visualizes your habits in a circular wheel, similar to the GitHub contributions graph but in a radial format. This was inspired by the Activity Rings on iOS.

It's built with vanilla JavaScript (no frameworks) and works entirely in the browser.

Features:
- Visual wheel interface for daily habits
- Weekly and monthly habit tracking
- Data persistence using localStorage
- Import/export functionality
- No login required, works offline
- Zero dependencies

That last part makes me a bit nervous. It's dangerously close to the EA belief that it's actually OK to be a ruthless exec for a tobacco company, because you can do good things with your money that you wouldn't be able to do if you quit the job.

I don't think that's the point you're making, but it's good to be careful with that. You can do good after hours, but it doesn't absolve you from what you're doing 9-to-5.

As to your first point: yes, but it's all relative. Most tech workers are "trying to get by" in their minds. Just look at the SFBA rents and the PG&E bills! And wait until you hear about their college loans... most people in the top 1% don't think about themselves as the top 1%.

In the end, making good decisions often requires sacrifice, pretty much no matter how much you make. And we often find ways to rationalize why it's not the right time for that.
I have replaced more screens on my phone than batteries.

I don’t feel like focusing on fixing things at home is the best way to ensure device longevity.

Creating a demand for technicians that can replace all kinds of things on our phones makes it so there’s always some phone repair shop nearby. Every mall I frequent has one. This creates a lower threshold for keeping the phone alive no matter what goes wrong with it.

The battery on my last phone outlasted the phones useful lifespan, so it’s not like batteries on modern phones is a part that’s particularly likely to need replacement. Every user is different of course, some go through a lot more charge cycles. But then there’s others that often break their screens. Or their charge port. If all these things should be easily user replaceable without tools, the phone would become very bulky.

I feel like we’re pretty close to a good compromise, now that Apple has a program to do these kind of replacement at home if you want. It’s really not that difficult.
Charles Dolan, Cable-TV Pioneer Behind HBO and AMC, Dies at 98
No, it is not. Whatever their other failings, Apple doesn’t think that way.

The cynical reason: consider that you can’t plan engineering features of this scale without written documentation, which will always surface in court.

The prima facie reason: Apple genuinely wants to provide useful features requiring server participation.
Around the time I was born, my dad was in the army and was taught in an intelligence class that "financial problems" is one of the most exploitable facets of a person by nation states. I don't really know much about his work, but it sounded like his role was particularly at-risk from nation states trying to pull information from him.

What's interesting though is that around that time we basically had no money and support from the military! We lived in a roach-infested home and barely had money for groceries! It absolutely blows me away that my family could barely support itself considering the known-and-taught risks of such a situation.

When he told me about that I asked him why they didn't pay the family more, considering the risks. He hadn't considered it even once before that conversation.

I visited Iceland in 2013 and between Keflavik and Reykjavik there was a single billboard with the EU emblem and the words “Nei Takk” (no thanks). This article puts a lot of that sentiment in perspective.

Our takeaway at the time was that this has to be the most effective billboard in the country as there is only one road between the major international airport and the capital.
It is not as simple as "my profit" vs. "others' expense". The elegance of the invisible hand theory is that it also accounts for the cases where others' expense is my expense and others' benefit is my benefit just as well as the others.

The scales sure can be tipped on the individual level, but you are only considering the "one individual vs. one individual" case. Many cliques of extreme power have been taken down by the weaker majority, which is also one of the processes contributing to the collapse of monopolies.
It doesn't have to be that expensive to continue supporting old devices. If all your devices use the same software, and new versions don't add new hardware requirements it wouldn't be that hard to continue supporting old hardware.

But in the current ecosystem every device has its own medley of custom firmware and software that gets abandoned when the maker stops selling that version, and the makers are incentivized to stop updates to drive customers to buy new devices.

It is very nuanced, but it's important to realize how small the power budget is and how just tens of milliwatt here and there make a huge difference.

To get over 12 hours of battery life out of a 60 Wh battery - which isn't impressive nowadays with laptops rocking 20+ hours - you need to stay below 5 watts of battery draw on average, and considering that the machine will likely do some actual computation occasionally, you'll need to idle closer to 2-3 watts at the battery including the monitor and any conversion losses.

The really big gains in battery life are from cutting tens to hundreds of mW off things at the bottom by keeping hardware off and using fixed function hardware like e.g. avoiding rendering and doing direct scanout and using partial panel self refresh. Execution units do not turn on and off instantly so pinging them even briefly is bad, and the entire system needs to be aligned with the goal of only using them when necessary for them to stay off.

Efforts like libliftoff to do efficient plane offload to avoid render steps in the display server can save in the area of half a watt or more, but it's not a whole lot of help if applications don't do their part.

Bigger GPUs than your iGPU (or even just later iGPUs) will also likely see even bigger impacts, as their bigger shader units are likely much hungrier.

(As an aside, I am not a fan of kitty - they have really weird frame management and terrible recommendations on their wiki. Foot, alacritty or if ghostty turns out good, maybe even that would be better suggestions. Note that comparing to foot can give a wrong image, as CPU-based rendering pushes work to the display server and gives the illusion of being faster and more efficient than it really is.)
even though nothing in america any longer can be apolitical it is unfair to say that people on the left love immigration. more accurate politically would be that people on the right (smartly) realized that it is election-advantageous to make immigration a political issue. hence on the button - several months before every election cycle there goes a caravan of immigrants that all MSM starts following from El Salvador and what not.

america needs immigrants, both ones coming through the soutern border as well as those flying in to JFK with the view of Statue of Liberty. both political parties are money-lobby driven and immigrants, both blue and white collar, are good for business.
